To me this seems like a poor protocol design that created an opportunity for an implementation error, and that opportunity was seized. In the initial authorization request rather than passing a string with an email address, the caller could

That doesn't really make sense in the context of docker. It's still Linux inside the container. Even if it's some abstract non-Linux service thing running the container, what happens in the container is still the concern of t

I would say the issues with interviews are * they're not cheap (although not that expensive all things considered), assuming you spend say 10 person hours on two calls and an on site. * they produce false negatives. on the spot exam

The thing you're overlooking is financial motive. If there's money to be made selling illegal secure communications software to criminal enterprises, then someone will make that software available and easy to use. You and I don&#x

What kills me is that it's not just 'crypto'currency vs 'crypto'graphy and a matter of which term is more popular in the public mind and therefore gets to keep the shorter phrase. Crypto is ALREADY short for cryptog

On referential transparency, I couldn't tell from the blog but are the Rust futures memoized/cached? If they are, then they're still not referentially transparent. But if they aren't then it might be a bit of a surprise

I agree with your bit about prescriptions. However I don't think following "the SpaceX model" would be very useful (or even a good idea) here. A few reasons: 1) the housing and needle are dirt cheap to manufacture, and as y

Linux users on the xps13/15, with synaptic you typically can't rest your thumb in the corner of a touchpad while using it. Do you have this issue or any work arounds?
